Pippalī, pippalī root, black pepper, tagara, vacā,

By this very preparation diarrhea is destroyed. / Collyrium made of black pepper and sesame flowers removes jaundice.

Harītakī combined with an equal amount of jaggery along with honey / acts as a purgative, O Rudra, of this there is no doubt.

Triphalā, citraka, citrā, and likewise kaṭukarohiṇī— / this is an excellent purgative that removes stiffness of the thighs.

1.183.6

One should boil harītakī, ginger, devadāru, and sandalwood, / [and] the root of apāmārga, with goat's milk; / or with jayantī, he cures stiffness of the thighs in seven nights.

One should make fine powders of anantā and ginger, / and guggulu mixed with an equal amount of jaggery, and having made pills, / he cures wind that has reached the sinews and loss of digestive fire.

Having uprooted śaṅkhapuṣpī together with its flower, leaves, / and root, one should drink it with goat's milk to cure epilepsy.

One should drink aśvagandhā and abhayā together with water; / then bleeding disease is destroyed, no doubt should be entertained here.

1.183.10

Having made a powder of harītakī and kuṣṭha, one should fill the mouth / and then drink cold water; it cures all vomiting.

1.183.11

Guḍūcī, padmaka, ariṣṭa, coriander, and red sandalwood / destroy bile-and-phlegm fever, vomiting, burning sensation, and thirst, and stimulate digestion: / "Om huṃ namaḥ".

Having tied śaṅkhapuṣpī to the ear, one should remove fever with the mantra: / "Om crushing one, paralyzing one, delude all my diseases with the vajra, ṭhaḥ ṭhaḥ, all my diseases with the vajra, phaṭ!"

1.183.13

Having recited [the mantra] a hundred and eight times over a flower, placing it in the hand, one should touch the nail: / quartan fever, O Rudra, and also other fevers [are cured].

1.183.14

Rose-apple fruit, turmeric, and the slough of a snake: / this fumigation destroys all fevers, and cures quartan [fever], O Hara.

1.183.15

One should cook oil with karavīra, bhṛṅgarāja leaves, salt, kuṣṭha, and karkaṭaśṛṅgī, / with four times as much urine; it removes / scabies, eczema, leprosy, and ulcers through anointing.

1.183.16

From drinking pippalī with honey and also from sweet food, / the spleen disease is destroyed, O Rudra, as also from the use of elephant-foot yam.

1.183.17

One should apply pippalī and turmeric combined with cow's urine / to the anal opening; he wards off hemorrhoids.

1.183.18

Goat's milk and fresh ginger drunk destroys spleen disease and the like. / Rock salt, viḍaṅga, somarājī, and mustard seeds,

1.183.19

the two turmerics, and viṣā one should grind with cow's urine; / and by anointing with that, as also with nīm leaves and the like, leprosy is destroyed.
